"It is with great sadness we announce that Trish Keenan from Broadcast passed away at 9 a.m. this morning in hospital," Ward Records said in a statement Friday. "She died from complications with pneumonia after battling the illness for two weeks in intensive care."

Keenan and James Cargill formed Broadcast in the mid-'90s as a quintet and released the album The Noise Made by People. By 2005, Keenan and Cargill were the only remaining band members, and the two released Tender Buttons.

The band's most recent release was a collaboration with The Focus Group in 2009.
